I Tried Walmart's Terrifying Metaverse Experience - Danny Gonzalez

  • 0:00 - 0:01
    Ladies and gentlemen,
  • 0:02 - 0:04
    Walmart has entered the metaverse.
  • 0:04 - 0:07
    (whooping, cheering, clapping noises)
  • 0:08 - 0:08
    Finally.
  • 0:08 - 0:09
    That's right, Greg.
  • 0:09 - 0:12
    Through one of the most popular
    children's games in the world,
  • 0:12 - 0:15
    Walmart is now an actual destination
    in the metaverse
  • 0:15 - 0:18
    where you can go to have fun, play, learn,
  • 0:18 - 0:19
    and of course,
  • 0:20 - 0:21
    buy things from Walmart.
  • 0:21 - 0:23
    And that is what I will be doing today.
  • 0:23 - 0:25
    I personally cannot wait to get into
    Walmart's metaverse,
  • 0:25 - 0:28
    look around, explore,
    it looks fun as hell.
  • 0:28 - 0:30
    One of the biggest corporations
    in the entire world
  • 0:30 - 0:33
    advertising to young children in
    a video game?
  • 0:33 - 0:34
    Uh, let's just say
  • 0:34 - 0:35
    Daddy likey.
  • 0:35 - 0:36
    But before we do that,
  • 0:36 - 0:39
    before I show you the actual
    Walmart metaverse experience.
  • 0:39 - 0:40
    I was surprised to find out
  • 0:40 - 0:43
    that this actually isn't Walmart's first
    metaverse project.
  • 0:43 - 0:44
    A few months ago,
  • 0:44 - 0:48
    apparently Walmart was sort of laughed
    off the internet
  • 0:48 - 0:52
    because this video surfaced demoing
    their "vision of the future of shopping"
  • 0:52 - 0:53
    in the metaverse.
  • 0:53 - 0:58
    And not only did this failed experiment
    not look like it made shopping any better,
  • 0:58 - 1:00
    it, like, actively made it worse.
  • 1:00 - 1:04
    You know how instead of like, a store
    with colorful aisles full of products
  • 1:04 - 1:06
    and people from your community
    shopping around,
  • 1:06 - 1:09
    you'd much rather shop in a dystopian
    void of a Walmart
  • 1:09 - 1:11
    that's been abandoned for
    a thousand years?
  • 1:13 - 1:13
    You d--
  • 1:13 - 1:14
    Oh, you do?
  • 1:14 - 1:16
    Okay, that was meant to be sarcastic
    but you actually do?
  • 1:16 - 1:18
    Okay, well, then maybe you'll like this.
  • 1:18 - 1:21
    (futuristic synth noise)
  • 1:21 - 1:23
    (industrial door-opening sound)
  • 1:23 - 1:25
    [Woman] Hi! Thanks for visiting Walmart.
  • 1:25 - 1:27
    I will be your shopping
    assistant module today,
  • 1:27 - 1:28
    but you can call me SAM for short.
  • 1:28 - 1:30
    [Danny] Look man, I already feel like
  • 1:30 - 1:34
    kind of dystopian going to a regular
    Walmart in the real world,
  • 1:34 - 1:37
    but this actually feels like I'm like a
    test subject in some kind of
  • 1:37 - 1:39
    psychological experiment.
  • 1:39 - 1:41
    What is this void? Where am I right now?
  • 1:41 - 1:42
    [SAM] Let's get started.
  • 1:42 - 1:43
    I have your shopping list loaded up
  • 1:43 - 1:46
    and I'm tracking your oil change so
    I can let you know as soon as it's done.
  • 1:46 - 1:47
    [Danny] Now I don't know about you,
  • 1:47 - 1:50
    but when I go to the store, if an employee
    asks me if I need help finding anything,
  • 1:50 - 1:53
    I say no every time, even
    if I DO need help
  • 1:53 - 1:55
    because I'm a nervous person.
  • 1:55 - 1:58
    So this?
    This scenario is like a nightmare to me.
  • 1:58 - 2:02
    Just having an employee floating
    2 feet in front of me at all times
  • 2:02 - 2:05
    just locking eyes with me,
    recommending products,
  • 2:05 - 2:06
    is actually a nightmare.
  • 2:06 - 2:10
    It's like my worst-case scenario when I
    go to a store, but if it just never ended.
  • 2:10 - 2:13
    It also doesn't help that she's like,
    literally telling you what to do,
  • 2:13 - 2:14
    she's not even making suggestions.
  • 2:14 - 2:16
    [SAM] You see the tomato
    sauce on your left?
  • 2:16 - 2:18
    Go ahead and grab that and then
    place it in your cart.
  • 2:18 - 2:19
    [Danny] You see the tomato sauce?
  • 2:19 - 2:20
    Grab it.
  • 2:20 - 2:21
    Put it in your cart.
  • 2:21 - 2:23
    You said you wanted tomato sauce, right?
  • 2:23 - 2:23
    It's right there.
  • 2:23 - 2:24
    Put it in the cart now.
  • 2:24 - 2:28
    There's no time for browsing and
    taking your time in the Walmart Metaverse.
  • 2:28 - 2:29
    Get your shit
  • 2:29 - 2:30
    and LEAVE.
  • 2:30 - 2:33
    How is this any better than
    shopping normally?
  • 2:33 - 2:37
    They had every opportunity to make
    shopping, like, a breeze,
  • 2:37 - 2:40
    Like, I feel like the most
    efficient form of shopping
  • 2:40 - 2:42
    is ki-- is just like, ordering it online.
  • 2:42 - 2:46
    They didn't need to take the actual
    physical experience of going to Walmart
  • 2:46 - 2:47
    and put it in VR.
  • 2:47 - 2:48
    If I'm not going to the store anymore,
  • 2:48 - 2:53
    it's like, the actual act of putting
    a tomato sauce in my cart
  • 2:53 - 2:54
    is not the part I'm gonna miss.
  • 2:54 - 2:57
    It's probably gonna be, like, human
    contact, or just, like,
  • 2:57 - 3:00
    feeling like I live-- I exist in a
    real social world.
  • 3:00 - 3:01
    [SAM] Great!
  • 3:01 - 3:02
    Looks like you need a good wine pairing.
  • 3:02 - 3:03
    Take a look to your right.
  • 3:03 - 3:04
    (metallic clink sound)
  • 3:04 - 3:07
    Your age has already been pre-verified
    through your profile,
  • 3:07 - 3:08
    so no need to wait for an ID check!
  • 3:08 - 3:09
    (bottle crashing)
  • 3:09 - 3:10
    [Danny] I love how in this
    supposedly, like
  • 3:10 - 3:14
    futuristic utopian version of
    Walmart in the future,
  • 3:14 - 3:17
    we're already being upsold to buy shit
    that we didn't want.
  • 3:17 - 3:19
    It's like, "Okay, you wanted pasta sauce,
  • 3:19 - 3:20
    go ahead and buy a wine with that.
  • 3:20 - 3:23
    You can't have pasta sauce
    without wine, right?
  • 3:23 - 3:26
    And also here's $5 off a
    VUDU movie rental,
  • 3:26 - 3:28
    you're gonna wanna buy a movie as well.
  • 3:28 - 3:29
    And then, oh, you're watching a movie?
  • 3:29 - 3:31
    Head on over to our gun department.
  • 3:31 - 3:32
    You're gonna want a gun with that movie."
  • 3:32 - 3:35
    Also I haven't even bought pasta,
    or meat yet.
  • Not Synced
    Why is red wine the thing I need to pair
    with the pasta sauce?
  • Not Synced
    I need the rest of my meal.
  • Not Synced
    Or am I just sipping on glass of wine and
    one glass of pasta sauce
  • Not Synced
    while I watch my VUDU rental movie?
  • Not Synced
    [SAM] I'm getting a notification
    from your connected smart fridge.
  • Not Synced
    It looks like you already have a full
    gallon of milk at home.
  • Not Synced
    Should we put this one back?
  • Not Synced
    [Danny] Sorry?
  • Not Synced
    My FRIDGE told you that?
  • Not Synced
    The sheer passive aggressiveness in
    this Walmart employee's voice.
  • Not Synced
    "Hey, so, um,
  • Not Synced
    I noticed you have a gallon of milk
    in your cart, but, uh,
  • Not Synced
    I was just talking to your smart fridge
  • Not Synced
    and he told me you already
    have milk at home.
  • Not Synced
    Should we put the milk back?
  • Not Synced
    Should wittle baby put the milk back?
  • Not Synced
    Did wittle baby forget that
    we have milk at home?
  • Not Synced
    (action music)
    Did you forget in this dystopian world
  • Not Synced
    there's a milk shortage?
  • Not Synced
    Are you trying to hoard milk?
  • Not Synced
    Also stop talking to my fridge behind
    my back, dude. What the hell?
  • Not Synced
    Why are smart fridges so integral to
    every corporation's version of the future?
  • Not Synced
    I do not want my fridge snitching on me
    to Walmart, okay?
  • Not Synced
    [Danny] Damn, you can really feel the
    anger through the screen in that toss.
  • Not Synced
    "Fine, I'll fucking put the
    milk back, dude.
  • Not Synced
    Stop talking to my fridge!"
  • Not Synced
    Just every part of this is so eerie.
  • Not Synced
    What is with the hum
    throughout this video?
  • Not Synced
    They could've had fun music playing,
    you know,
  • Not Synced
    you go to like, Target or Walmart
    and they're playing, like, Ed Sheeran.
  • Not Synced
    It's like they're making it eerie and
    dystopian on purpose.
  • Not Synced
    Every time you pick up an item
    from the shelf
  • Not Synced
    all of the shelves descend into the
    underworld and new shelves come up.
  • Not Synced
    That's really comforting, I gotta say.
  • Not Synced
    There's something so comforting
    about them being like,
  • Not Synced
    "NO YOU DON'T MOVE, ALRIGHT?
  • Not Synced
    THE SHELVES MOVE.
  • Not Synced
    You stay right where you are.
  • Not Synced
    The milk will come to you.
  • Not Synced
    (distorted) The gun aisle
    will come to you.
  • Not Synced
    [SAM] Good news! Your oil change is done.
  • Not Synced
    Your vehicle will be ready at the
    Tire and Lube Express.
  • Not Synced
    [Danny] Okay, now wait, so
    this is confusing.
  • Not Synced
    Am I...
  • Not Synced
    at a Walmart with a VR
    headset on?
  • Not Synced
    This whole time I thought this was
    something you do from home.
  • Not Synced
    You go around, pick out all your items,
  • Not Synced
    and then Walmart will come and
    drop your stuff off.
  • Not Synced
    But she just said that my car's getting
    an oil change right now--
  • Not Synced
    [SAM] Good news! Your oil change is done.
  • Not Synced
    [Danny] At the Lube Express or whatever?
  • Not Synced
    [SAM] At the Tire and Lube Express.
  • Not Synced
    [Danny] The Tire and Lube Express.
  • Not Synced
    That's right, that's what I said.
  • Not Synced
    So...
  • Not Synced
    I drove to Walmart,
  • Not Synced
    dropped my car off at the Tire
    and Lube Express,
  • Not Synced
    And then went into Walmart
  • Not Synced
    and then just put on a VR headset?
  • Not Synced
    At that point, I-- why can't I just shop?
  • Not Synced
    Why do I need to be wearing a VR headset?
  • Not Synced
    I'm so confused.
  • Not Synced
    (ominous humming and
    machine hissing noises)
  • Not Synced
    [Danny] I feel like these hands
    say so much
  • Not Synced
    about the emotion of the person
    watching this happen.
  • Not Synced
    Would you say that this person is, like,
  • Not Synced
    happy or terrified about
    what's going on right now?
  • Not Synced
    (machinery hissing noises,
    dark scary piano music)
  • Not Synced
    [SAM] I'll have the TV
    brought out to your car.
  • Not Synced
    (confirmation ding)
  • Not Synced
    (drone hums to life)
  • Not Synced
    [Danny] Okay, so my shopping cart
    is going to my car to load my groceries,
  • Not Synced
    this drone is just gonna deliver the TV
    straight to my house,
  • Not Synced
    and then I notice that I'm not leaving
    the Walmart?
  • Not Synced
    I notice that my cart and the TV
    get to leave
  • Not Synced
    and I don't?
  • Not Synced
    Any reason for that?
  • Not Synced
    (dark scary piano music)
    "Okay, your groceries will be delievered
  • Not Synced
    to your smart fridge as a sacrifice,
  • Not Synced
    and you will remain here forever.
  • Not Synced
    Thank you for shopping at Walmart."
  • Not Synced
    Okay. I think you guys have
    waited long enough.
  • Not Synced
    You wanna see the REAL DEAL.
  • Not Synced
    That experiment obviously did not work,
  • Not Synced
    people were like,
    "What the hell is wrong with you?
  • Not Synced
    Of course we don't want this."
  • Not Synced
    So now it's time to look at Walmart's
  • Not Synced
    actual, real-life, currently live venture
    into the metaverse.
  • Not Synced
    Walmart enters the metaverse with Roblox
    experiences aimed at young shoppers.
  • Not Synced
    Young shoppers, young shoppers,
  • Not Synced
    I feel like there's another word for that,
  • Not Synced
    another word that they're not using
    for some r--
  • Not Synced
    Oh, CHILDREN!
  • Not Synced
    Yeah, that's right, we usually call
    young shoppers "children."
  • Not Synced
    But I guess at the end of the day
  • Not Synced
    children are basically just young
    shoppers, aren't they?
  • Not Synced
    Congratulations ma'am,
  • Not Synced
    you've given birth to a beautiful
    young male shopper.
  • Not Synced
    Oh, thank you so much!
  • Not Synced
    I can't wait for him to grow up and shop
    just like his father.
  • Not Synced
    Isn't that right, sweetie?
  • Not Synced
    (people talking, dark scary piano music)
  • Not Synced
    Walmart is entering the metaverse with two
    experiences:
  • Not Synced
    Walmart Land and Walmart's Universe of
    Play in gaming platform Roblox.
  • Not Synced
    Walmart's marketing chief, William White,
  • Not Synced
    said the company will use Roblox
    as a testing ground
  • Not Synced
    as it considers other moves in
    the metaverse and beyond.
  • Not Synced
    Definitely makes it sound like they're
    using this opportunity
  • Not Synced
    to sort of experiment on children.
  • Not Synced
    Which I guess makes sense as to why
    they're not using the word "children."
  • Not Synced
    Cause there's lots of laws against
    advertising to children.
  • Not Synced
    But there are no laws,
  • Not Synced
    as far as I know,
  • Not Synced
    about advertising to young shoppers.
  • Not Synced
    Ah, I just remembered,
  • Not Synced
    that's my favorite show.
  • Not Synced
    My favorite Big Bang
    Theory spin-off.
  • Not Synced
    Young Shopper.
  • Not Synced
    The retail giant's first foray
    into the virtual world
  • Not Synced
    will feature a blimp that drops toys,
  • Not Synced
    a music festival with hot artists--
  • Not Synced
    I hope they mean, like,
  • Not Synced
    sexy.
  • Not Synced
    The most ATTRACTIVE artists
    we could find.
  • Not Synced
    Yassified Van Gogh.
  • Not Synced
    -- a bunch of different games,
  • Not Synced
    and a store of virtual merchandise,
    or "verch" --
  • Not Synced
    I think I wanna throw up from
    reading that sentence.
  • Not Synced
    -- which matches what customers
    may find in Walmart's stores
  • Not Synced
    and on its website.
  • Not Synced
    Walmart is trying to make
    themselves seem SO COOL to children.
  • Not Synced
    A blimp that drops toys and
    music festivals?
  • Not Synced
    Kids that grow up going
    to Walmart Land in Roblox
  • Not Synced
    are gonna be so disappointed the
    first time they actually go to a Walmart.
  • Not Synced
    They're gonna walk in,
  • Not Synced
    there's like a small cowboy kid
    yodeling in the corner,
  • Not Synced
    in another corner there's an employee
    in a physical altercation with a customer.
  • Not Synced
    They're like bashing
    the customer's head in,
  • Not Synced
    the poor kid's is like,
  • Not Synced
    "Where's the blimp that drops toys?"
  • Not Synced
    For now, Walmart won't make money
    from its immersive experiences.
  • Not Synced
    Gamers can earn tokens and other rewards
  • Not Synced
    to put towards virtual
    merchandise on Roblox.
  • Not Synced
    Brands like L.O.L Surprise! and
    Skullcandy headphones
  • Not Synced
    were included in the experiences based on
  • Not Synced
    their popularity with Roblox's
    younger audience of gamers.
  • Not Synced
    Still not using the word "children."
  • Not Synced
    No, now they're young gamers.
  • Not Synced
    Walmart COULD make money from it
    in the future--
  • Not Synced
    Oh.
  • Not Synced
    You think?
  • Not Synced
    You think Walmart MIGHT somehow
    be trying to find out a way to make money
  • Not Synced
    from this?
  • Not Synced
    (scoffs)
  • Not Synced
    I don't know man.
  • Not Synced
    Seems a little far-fetched to me.
  • Not Synced
    I kind of assumed they were doing this
  • Not Synced
    pro bono.
    (bass-boosted buzzing)
  • Not Synced
    Universe of Play has games that feature
    items from Walmart's top toy list
  • Not Synced
    for the holiday season, like Razor
    scooters and Paw Patrol
  • Not Synced
    and Jurassic World characters--
    a potential nudge
  • Not Synced
    to get Roblox users to ask for them.
  • Not Synced
    A potential nudge?
  • Not Synced
    Has the person who wrote this article
  • Not Synced
    ever heard of Walmart?
  • Not Synced
    Or like, business?
  • Not Synced
    They're showing really popular products
  • Not Synced
    to kids in a really popular kids' game.
  • Not Synced
    Maybe that could be to get them to
    BUY the products FROM WALMART.
  • Not Synced
    Walmart Land has an obstacle course
  • Not Synced
    of oversized items from the retailer's
    Gen Z-focused beauty brands,
  • Not Synced
    such as skin-care products from Bubble
  • Not Synced
    and makeup from Uoma by Sharon C.
  • Not Synced
    It's crazy that even in the metaverse
  • Not Synced
    corporations are trying to
    convince you that
  • Not Synced
    You Are Ugly.
  • Not Synced
    You're a fully digital avatar and
    Walmart's still like,
  • Not Synced
    "We can still tell you're uglyyy!
  • Not Synced
    Hellooo! You need to buy virtual makeup!
  • Not Synced
    We just talked to your smart fridge and
    it told us you're uglyyy~"
  • Not Synced
    To be fair, of course your Roblox
    character needs makeup.
  • Not Synced
    (screaming effect)
    They're all hideous.
  • Not Synced
    There's no way a Roblox character's
  • Not Synced
    ever going to conform to
    traditional beauty standards.
  • Not Synced
    They have, like, pitch-black doll eyes.
  • Not Synced
    Alright guys, I don't know about you,
  • Not Synced
    but I'm ready.
  • Not Synced
    My young shopper mind is ready
    to be advertised to.
  • Not Synced
    Let's hop into this game.
  • Not Synced
    And so I hopped
  • Not Synced
    into this game.
  • Not Synced
    (claps)
    (cool synth music plays)
  • Not Synced
    I have never played Roblox before.
  • Not Synced
    So unfortunately, even though Walmart is
  • Not Synced
    advertising this as
    a metaverse experience,
  • Not Synced
    it's not in VR.
  • Not Synced
    I kind of thought that every metaverse
    experience takes place in VR,
  • Not Synced
    but I guess metaverse just means
    it's in the computer.
  • Not Synced
    I don't know how that's different
    from like, walmart.com.
  • Not Synced
    That's in the computer, is that
    not the metaverse?
  • Not Synced
    Since the game is not in VR and I
    wanted to still wear a cool headset,
  • Not Synced
    I'm gonna be wearing these cool
    gamer glasses
  • Not Synced
    instead of a VR headset.
  • Not Synced
    Anyway, I have, um
  • Not Synced
    actually I have no idea how Roblox works.
  • Not Synced
    It took me a minute to figure out
    how to actually get into Roblox
  • Not Synced
    and start playing in
    Walmart's world of play.
  • Not Synced
    I guess there's all these worlds here.
  • Not Synced
    I wonder if Walmart Land
    is in here somewhere.
  • Not Synced
    Survival.
  • Not Synced
    Probably not gonna be in there.
  • Not Synced
    "Yeah, Walmart Universe of Play,
  • Not Synced
    the new SURVIVAL game.
  • Not Synced
    Try not to get MURDERED in our-
  • Not Synced
    in the new Walmart Land."
  • Not Synced
    Apparently Roblox isn't just one game,
  • Not Synced
    it's like a million different games.
  • Not Synced
    "Don't Call at 3 AM"
  • Not Synced
    and it's a picture of Dwayne
    "The Rock" Johnson.
  • Not Synced
    "Squid Game."
  • Not Synced
    "Last to Leave," it's like a
    Mr. Beast video within Roblox.
  • Not Synced
    What is Roblox?
  • Not Synced
    What IS...
  • Not Synced
    Roblox
  • Not Synced
    anyway?
  • Not Synced
    Eventually I found Walmart Land
  • Not Synced
    in the Recommended For You tab.
  • Not Synced
    They know why I'm here.
  • Not Synced
    New to Walmart Land?
  • Not Synced
    Yes.
  • Not Synced
    Well, welcome!
  • Not Synced
    It's a place where inspiration
    starts with play,
  • Not Synced
    including mini games, challenges,
    an obby, and more--
  • Not Synced
    An obby?
  • Not Synced
    Am I supposed to know what that is?
  • Not Synced
    Is that Roblox lingo?
  • Not Synced
    Or is that just a, like, a word in
    the English language that I don't know?
  • Not Synced
    Oh, this is helpful.
  • Not Synced
    Is obby a word?
  • Not Synced
    Yeah, obby is a valid English word.
  • Not Synced
    Okay, what does it mean though?
  • Not Synced
    The hell is an obby?
  • Not Synced
    Oh!
  • Not Synced
    In Roblox, it's an obstacle course.
  • Not Synced
    Explore Electric Island!
  • Not Synced
    Play Netflix Trivia
  • Not Synced
    hosted by Noah Schnapp??
  • Not Synced
    Wait.
  • Not Synced
    The dude from Stranger Things?
  • Not Synced
    Is hosting a game in Walmart Land?
  • Not Synced
    Compete in the Dance Off Challenge.
  • Not Synced
    Make beats in the DJ--
  • Not Synced
    okay, this place actually...
  • Not Synced
    this place actually might
    be kinda cool.
  • Not Synced
    That's right, it MIGHT.
  • Not Synced
    Now there's some cool-sounding
    stuff in here,
  • Not Synced
    like a giant cosmetics obstacle course,
  • Not Synced
    but what I'm really interested in
  • Not Synced
    is Noah Schnapp hosting
    trivia in Roblox.
  • Not Synced
    How is he just IN Walmart Land?
  • Not Synced
    Is he just playing Roblox all the time?
  • Not Synced
    Just sitting there waiting to ask people
    questions about Netflix?
  • Not Synced
    How much are they paying him for this?
  • Not Synced
    There's no wrong way to play!
  • Not Synced
    I bet I can prove you wrong, buster.
  • Not Synced
    Let's see how long it takes me
    to get banned from this world.
  • Not Synced
    Then we'll find out if there's
    a wrong way to play, won't we?
  • Not Synced
    So this is Walmart Land.
  • Not Synced
    My initial impressions of the game were
  • Not Synced
    not great.
  • Not Synced
    So this is me.
  • Not Synced
    See, the thing I don't get,
  • Not Synced
    okay, this isn't even, this isn't
  • Not Synced
    a thing about Walmart Land specifically.
  • Not Synced
    But why's this game so ugly?
  • Not Synced
    DIH!
  • Not Synced
    DIH!
  • Not Synced
    DIH! DIH! DIH! DIH!
  • Not Synced
    This video's just gonna be me discovering
  • Not Synced
    the horrors of Roblox.
  • Not Synced
    It's not even gonna have anything
    to do with Walmart anymore.
  • Not Synced
    What the fuck?
  • Not Synced
    Check how loud the game is.
  • Not Synced
    UH!
  • Not Synced
    It's about this loud.
  • Not Synced
    UH!!
  • Not Synced
    I knew I couldn't go see Noah
    in this wretched default outfit,
  • Not Synced
    but lucky for me, Walmart Land
  • Not Synced
    has a virtual store.
  • Not Synced
    Ooh, there's a store, let's go over there.
  • Not Synced
    I can buy some Walmart jeans!
  • Not Synced
    Where you can shop for clothing from
    real life clothing brands like Bonobos.
  • Not Synced
    Wide-leg jeans,
  • Not Synced
    Bone-a-bose sweatpants.
  • Not Synced
    Is that how you pronounce it?
  • Not Synced
    (dark piano music)
    I looked it up afterwards and it is not.
  • Not Synced
    Bonobos.
  • Not Synced
    But that wouldn't stop me from
    mispronouncing it
  • Not Synced
    the entire time I played this game.
  • Not Synced
    I guess I need coins to buy some
  • Not Synced
    BONABOSE sweatpants.
  • Not Synced
    I don't think I've ever met anyone
    that's actually been wearing an article
  • Not Synced
    of Bona--
  • Not Synced
    Bone--
  • Not Synced
    Bonny--
  • Not Synced
    Bonaboe clothing.
  • Not Synced
    But I'm gonna go and get some.
  • Not Synced
    There's a couple different ways you
    can collect tokens to buy Bonobos clothing
  • Not Synced
    in Walmart Land.
  • Not Synced
    First, as we know, there's a
    blimp that drops toys.
  • Not Synced
    Okay, there's a thing at the top
    that says "Next Blimp,"
  • Not Synced
    a minute and a half away.
  • Not Synced
    Oh, there it is!
  • Not Synced
    Take me with you.
  • Not Synced
    I want to go in the blimp.
  • Not Synced
    Except as far as I can tell,
  • Not Synced
    it ever only drops cold hard cash.
  • Not Synced
    Ookayyy.
  • Not Synced
    I just got 82 surprise coins.
  • Not Synced
    Okay, sick, so it dropped some coins.
  • Not Synced
    Didn't drop any walmart.com T-shirts
    or anything,
  • Not Synced
    so a little underwhelming, but.
  • Not Synced
    These coins will make do.
  • Not Synced
    I did get distracted from my mission
    to buy some sweatpants
  • Not Synced
    when I realized there was
    a fight going on in the chat.
  • Not Synced
    Looks like there's a bit of a dispute
    happening in the chat.
  • Not Synced
    It's the same person who
    commented over and over.
  • Not Synced
    No.
  • Not Synced
    This is my monorail.
  • Not Synced
    Off.
  • Not Synced
    Wait for the next one.
  • Not Synced
    WAIT FOR THE NEXT ONE!
  • Not Synced
    OFF!
  • Not Synced
    Holy shit.
  • Not Synced
    There's a monorail in this game?
  • Not Synced
    How do I hop on this thing
    to piss this guy off?
  • Not Synced
    I was told there's no wrong way to
    play, so I'm assuming that
  • Not Synced
    hopping on this guy's monorail
    just to piss him off is cool?
  • Not Synced
    I said,
  • Not Synced
    "I'm waiting to get on your monorail.
    I'm so excited."
  • Not Synced
    and he said,
  • Not Synced
    "No. Wait for the next one."
  • Not Synced
    (badass rebellious rock music)
  • Not Synced
    Let's go.
  • Not Synced
    But I guess he was pretty
    serious about it,
  • Not Synced
    because by the time the monorail
    came around, he was gone
  • Not Synced
    and I never heard from him again.
  • Not Synced
    Wow, what a beautiful view
    I have of Walmart Land.
  • Not Synced
    Trying to sort of get a good
    vantage point to get a good look
  • Not Synced
    from the monorail at Walmart Land.
  • Not Synced
    Can I sort of zoom out and just get a
    really good bird's eye view--
  • Not Synced
    Nope, okay.
  • Not Synced
    Now I'm looking at my own
  • Not Synced
    taint.
  • Not Synced
    Sort of wanted to look
    at Walmart Land instead.
  • Not Synced
    Wait, how do I have 200 coins now?
  • Not Synced
    What happened here?
  • Not Synced
    How did I get that many coins?
  • Not Synced
    I still don't know.
  • Not Synced
    Watching the video back, I'm just
    standing on the monorail
  • Not Synced
    and I gain 100 coins for no reason.
  • Not Synced
    I don't know but it's time to go buy
  • Not Synced
    some frickin' PANTS!
  • Not Synced
    Pants, pants, pants, pants,
    pants, pants, pants!
  • Not Synced
    Guys, I'm gonna level with you,
    I didn't buy the pants.
  • Not Synced
    In fact, I didn't buy
    any Bonobos clothing.
  • Not Synced
    I LOOKED at the Bonobos clothing.
  • Not Synced
    Oh, I can buy shirts too?
  • Not Synced
    Well, hold on, this changes everything!
  • Not Synced
    They've got Bonobos Ssshweater Blue.
  • Not Synced
    That's that sad feeling you get
    when you put on your Bonobos sweater.
  • Not Synced
    (laughing) Got the
    Bonobos sweater blues, man.
  • Not Synced
    But then I found something that I thought
  • Not Synced
    was a little more likely to impress Noah.
  • Not Synced
    Oh, and they have
    Stranger Things stuff, too.
  • Not Synced
    Dude, I could dress up as Eleven--
  • Not Synced
    Oh wait, let me try it on.
  • Not Synced
    And here I am.
  • Not Synced
    And why am I not wearing it?
  • Not Synced
    Excuse me.
  • Not Synced
    EXCUSE ME.
  • Not Synced
    Maybe this is just Roblox as a whole,
  • Not Synced
    but Walmart Land was
    generally very glitchy.
  • Not Synced
    How do I put on this freaking dress?!
  • Not Synced
    I have a feeling it's in this bag,
  • Not Synced
    but I-- there's sort of like a list
    of players in the way that I can't--
  • Not Synced
    so I can't click on the bag.
  • Not Synced
    (growling) Let me click on
    the goddamn BAG.
  • Not Synced
    When I bought this Eleven costume,
  • Not Synced
    and I went into my inventory,
    it said it was already equipped,
  • Not Synced
    but it wasn't, so I had to like,
  • Not Synced
    unequip it and then reequip it
  • Not Synced
    and then just like, wait a couple seconds
  • Not Synced
    for it to show up on my body.
  • Not Synced
    LET'S
  • Not Synced
    GO!!!
    (cheerful electronic music playing)
  • Not Synced
    DUDE!
  • Not Synced
    I just turned into Millie Bobby Brown
  • Not Synced
    from a Millie Bobby Clown.
  • Not Synced
    Can you dance in this game?
  • Not Synced
    Maybe someone in the chat
    can help me.
  • Not Synced
    It's time to see how kind the
    people of Roblox are, I guess.
  • Not Synced
    Oh!
  • Not Synced
    You can dance in Roblox, but there's
    certain games that you can't dance in.
  • Not Synced
    Well surely you can dance in
    Walmart Land,
  • Not Synced
    it's the best place in the goddamn world.
  • Not Synced
    (ominous THUD sound)
  • Not Synced
    They said,
  • Not Synced
    "I tried and it didn't work."
  • Not Synced
    Excusez-moi.
  • Not Synced
    There's supposed to be, like, a dance
    rave here, isn't there?
  • Not Synced
    And you're not allowed to dance?
  • Not Synced
    There's a music concert,
    a music festival,
  • Not Synced
    and you're just meant to
    stand there like this?
  • Not Synced
    (cheerful electronic music playing)
  • Not Synced
    Woah. ColdAtlantic sent me
    a friend request.
  • Not Synced
    Sure, dog. I'll be anyone's friend.
  • Not Synced
    As long as they can teach me
    how to freakin' play this game.
  • Not Synced
    So it looks like there's some
    areas of Walmart Land
  • Not Synced
    they have not fleshed out yet.
  • Not Synced
    There's a bunch of bubbles
    that just say "Coming soon."
  • Not Synced
    So they're keeping some hype alive
    for Walmart Land.
  • Not Synced
    As if there wasn't enough already, y'know?
  • Not Synced
    While searching for Noah, I came across
  • Not Synced
    the cosmetics obby.
  • Not Synced
    The goal is simple, just try to
    get to the end of the obby.
  • Not Synced
    Alright.
  • Not Synced
    I thought I'd give it a go in
    an effort to, I don't know,
  • Not Synced
    earn some extra tokens.
  • Not Synced
    Uh! Uh, uh-
  • Not Synced
    oh God!
  • Not Synced
    But little did I know
  • Not Synced
    this obstacle course
  • Not Synced
    would ruin me.
  • Not Synced
    (rock music playing)
  • Not Synced
    Fuck! Shit!
  • Not Synced
    I hate Walmart Land now.
  • Not Synced
    I don't wanna buy any of
    these products at all!
  • Not Synced
    What is this?!
  • Not Synced
    OW!
  • Not Synced
    Am I just bad at this?
  • Not Synced
    EH!
  • Not Synced
    Fucking. Shit.
  • Not Synced
    I swear to God,
  • Not Synced
    this is harder than it looks, gang.
  • Not Synced
    Only an adult could beat this, for sure.
  • Not Synced
    And even then, y'know, I mean,
  • Not Synced
    I'm a-- I'm a grown-up, and I'm
  • Not Synced
    definitely being given a run for my
  • Not Synced
    mo-- FUUUCK!!!
  • Not Synced
    Some advertising this is, WALMART.
  • Not Synced
    You see what you've done?
  • Not Synced
    You've turned a lifelong loyal customer
  • Not Synced
    into a pissed off Lego guy!
  • Not Synced
    Egh, this is getting... getting
    kinda hard to watch.
  • Not Synced
    Honestly I would much rather be
    watching an ad for ExpressVPN right now!
  • Not Synced
    While I'm getting absolutely
    dominated by this beauty obby,
  • Not Synced
    let me tell you how YOU can avoid getting
  • Not Synced
    dominated by your
    internet service provider
  • Not Synced
    by using ExpressVPN.
  • Not Synced
    UGH!!!
  • Not Synced
    You see, in the US, it's legal
    for your internet service provider
  • Not Synced
    to sell your data to other companies.
  • Not Synced
    They can keep track of every
    website you've ever visited,
  • Not Synced
    every product you've looked at
    buying in the past month,
  • Not Synced
    and sell it to advertisers.
  • Not Synced
    If they wanted to, they could
    sell it to Walmart.
  • Not Synced
    Oh my GOD.
  • Not Synced
    I'm never going to Walmart again.
  • Not Synced
    But ExpressVPN puts a stop to this
  • Not Synced
    by rerouting 100% of your network traffic
  • Not Synced
    through their secure, encrypted server.
  • Not Synced
    ExpressVPN also helps you unblock content
  • Not Synced
    that's not available in your area.
  • Not Synced
    For example, Laura and I are both
  • Not Synced
    absolutely rabid fans of Survivor.
  • Not Synced
    But a few weeks ago, Laura and I
    were on vacation in Europe,
  • Not Synced
    where they did not have Survivor on Hulu.
  • Not Synced
    But by turning on ExpressVPN, (which is
    very easy to do,
  • Not Synced
    you just do it in one click)
  • Not Synced
    and changing my server location to the US,
  • Not Synced
    we're able to watch Survivor in our hotel.
  • Not Synced
    And even when you're not traveling,
  • Not Synced
    there's tons of shows
    you can unlock on Netflix
  • Not Synced
    simply by switching your location.
  • Not Synced
    I think I'll just chill
    here for a little bit.
  • Not Synced
    He looks comfortable here and I
    don't wanna risk falling,
  • Not Synced
    it seems like a,
  • Not Synced
    kind of a cool place to hang out.
  • Not Synced
    ExpressVPN has the fastest speeds,
  • Not Synced
    they're consistently ranked
    the number one VPN
  • Not Synced
    by sources like CNET,
    Tech Radar, The Verge, and more,
  • Not Synced
    so if you wanna found out how you can
    get 3 months of ExpressVPN for free,
  • Not Synced
    then head on over to
    ExpressVPN.com/DANNYGONZALEZ
  • Not Synced
    or the link in the description.
  • Not Synced
    That's E-X-P-R-E-S-S-V-P-N.com
    slash Danny Gonzalez.
  • Not Synced
    Thank you to ExpressVPN for
    sponsoring this video
  • Not Synced
    and thank you to you guys
    for checking out ExpressVPN,
  • Not Synced
    and now please God,
    can I finish this obby?
  • Not Synced
    Where's the end? Is that the end?
  • Not Synced
    (grand, momentous string music)
  • Not Synced
    Wheeee!
  • Not Synced
    LET'S
  • Not Synced
    GO!!!!
  • Not Synced
    LET'S GO!
  • Not Synced
    We're back, baby! We did it.
  • Not Synced
    250 coins, by the way.
  • Not Synced
    So I'm basically rich now.
  • Not Synced
    Oh my god.
  • Not Synced
    (laughing) That look so
    much longer than it should have, holy cow.
  • Not Synced
    They say the night is darkest
    just before the dawn,
  • Not Synced
    and I have to say in this case,
  • Not Synced
    that was correct,
  • Not Synced
    because right after this obstacle course,
  • Not Synced
    I found Electric Island--
  • Not Synced
    Electric Island looks kinda
    fun, let's go there.
  • Not Synced
    --and by extension, Noah Schnapp.
  • Not Synced
    Okay, what is there
    to do on Electric Island?
  • Not Synced
    Play Netflix Trivia hosted
    by Noah Schnapp.
  • Not Synced
    I have a feeling it's just, like,
    a bot that says he's Noah Schnapp.
  • Not Synced
    But it'd be crazy if it was actually him.
  • Not Synced
    It'd be crazy if it wasn't even, like,
  • Not Synced
    a Roblox character,
  • Not Synced
    it was just, like, him in the game.
  • Not Synced
    I looked around for a little bit
    trying to find this guy,
  • Not Synced
    and I gotta say,
  • Not Synced
    the name "Electric Island" makes
    this place sound a lot more fun
  • Not Synced
    than it actually is.
  • Not Synced
    Alright, I'm already seeing something
    that looks pretty fun, Electric Island.
  • Not Synced
    A pool party.
  • Not Synced
    Let's go, dude. Let's go, let's turn up!
  • Not Synced
    Okay, there is no one here.
  • Not Synced
    You know, for the fun
    and totally happening place
  • Not Synced
    that they made it
    seem like Electric Island
  • Not Synced
    and more broadly Walmart Land would be,
  • Not Synced
    it doesn't seem like there's
    that many people here.
  • Not Synced
    Feels kinda... lonely.
  • Not Synced
    Does it show how many people are in here?
  • Not Synced
    18, 19, 20, 21, 22.
  • Not Synced
    There's 22 people here in Walmart Land.
  • Not Synced
    So this looks like the gigantic stage
    where huge concerts take place
  • Not Synced
    and everyone stands still and watches.
  • Not Synced
    This place is electric during live events!
  • Not Synced
    I doubt it.
  • Not Synced
    I highly doubt it.
  • Not Synced
    Electric Island is a strange
    and mysterious place.
  • Not Synced
    Maybe I-- Woah! What's going on?
  • Not Synced
    And they did a damn good job
    of hiding Noah Schnapp.
  • Not Synced
    Alright, where's Noah Schnapp at?
  • Not Synced
    Let me talk to Noah Schnapp, dude.
  • Not Synced
    Where's Noah Schnapp?
  • Not Synced
    Noahhhh?
  • Not Synced
    I want to play some
    Netflix Trivia with youuu.
  • Not Synced
    But eventually, I made it
  • Not Synced
    to the trivia floor.
  • Not Synced
    There we go!
  • Not Synced
    I found an elevator.
    Netflix Trivia, please.
  • Not Synced
    I feel closer to Noah than ever before.
  • Not Synced
    (Netflix's reverbing "duh-dun" sound)
  • Not Synced
    (Noah) Hey, what's up everyone,
  • Not Synced
    I'm Noah Schnapp, and you might know me
  • Not Synced
    as Will Byers from Stranger Things.
  • Not Synced
    (Danny) It's actually him!
    (Noah) Anyway, today
  • Not Synced
    we're gonna have some fun playing
    Netflix Trivia here in Walmart Land.
  • Not Synced
    There are 3 categories you choose from,
  • Not Synced
    one about Stranger Things,
    another about Outer Banks,
  • Not Synced
    and a third called "Surprise Me."
  • Not Synced
    (Danny) You know, something tells me
    he wasn't actually IN Walmart Land.
  • Not Synced
    There weren't too many blank white walls
    that I saw in Walmart Land.
  • Not Synced
    He said, like, "I hope we're all
    having fun in Walmart Land"
  • Not Synced
    like he was also there.
  • Not Synced
    He didn't even look
    like a Roblox character.
  • Not Synced
    Now the only thing left to do
  • Not Synced
    was play some Stranger Things
    trivia with my boy Noah.
  • Not Synced
    What sport does Lucas
    play at Hawkins High?
  • Not Synced
    Football...?
  • Not Synced
    Fuck!
  • Not Synced
    Oh no, I forgot I don't
    watch Stranger Things!
  • Not Synced
    I didn't know the answers to
    any of these questions!
  • Not Synced
    Which of the following is
    a real quote from Argyle?
  • Not Synced
    Who is Argyle?
  • Not Synced
    5 coins
  • Not Synced
    for like 30 minutes of work
    trying to find Will--
  • Not Synced
    oh, sorry, not Will.
  • Not Synced
    Noah is his real name in real life.
  • Not Synced
    And I get 5 measly coins.
  • Not Synced
    I kinda felt like all
    the kiddos in Season 1
  • Not Synced
    trying to find this dude.
  • Not Synced
    And I finally do and I get 5 coins.
  • Not Synced
    I-- At this point I've gotta pretty
    much be the richest person
  • Not Synced
    in Walmart Land, so.
  • Not Synced
    (electronic-sounding piano keys play)
  • Not Synced
    I think I'm just gonna head to the store
  • Not Synced
    and spend all of my money
  • Not Synced
    and then be done.
  • Not Synced
    So I got some Bonobos Sweater Blues
  • Not Synced
    and some Bonobos Sweatpants.
  • Not Synced
    And let's just see how I look.
  • Not Synced
    And they didn't appear on my character--
  • Not Synced
    That's not the sweater I just bought.
  • Not Synced
    Is this game broken?
  • Not Synced
    Oh, there we go.
  • Not Synced
    But now what happened to my pants?
  • Not Synced
    The sweater's on, but
    my blue pants are not.
  • Not Synced
    --And then I quit the game.
  • Not Synced
    Well guys, I think I've
    played enough Roblox
  • Not Synced
    for today and the rest of my life.
  • Not Synced
    I hope you enjoyed this in-depth look
  • Not Synced
    at Walmart's first steps
    into the metaverse.
  • Not Synced
    I'll see you guys next time,
  • Not Synced
    uh-buh-bye.
